“I am raising money for the children’s ward as my daughter was there a few years ago with sepsis and they were brilliant,” Sarah said.

“Some of the children are there for a long time and the money I raise will hopefully give them better treatment and equipment or some more toys to make their stay that bit better.”

The big shave will be on November 8 at 10am at the College Hair Salon, carried out by the principal of the college, Len Tildsley.

Sarah O’Reilly, fundraising officer at the University Hospital North Midlands, said: “We are delighted that Sarah is fundraising for University Hospitals of North Midlands Charity. It is people just like Sarah that make things better for our patients, their families and the staff who treat them.

“Fundraising helps us to provide important equipment, new facilities and pioneering research and all the important extras.”
